Katherine Heigl's drama thriller series hasn't even aired yet but there's already drama brewing behind the scenes as showrunner Ed Bernero decided to quit the NBC series. Despite having a reputation of being difficult to work with, the former Grey's Anatomy star was apparently not the reason behind Bernero's exit.

State of Affairs revolves around Heigl's character CIA analyst Charleston Tucker, who is tasked with briefing the President about crucial issues facing the country. The series also stars Alfre Woodard as President Constance Payton, Adam Kaufman as Lucas Newsome, Sheila Vand as Maureen James, Cliff Chamberlain as Kurt Tannen, Tommy Savas as Dashiell Greer, David Harbour as David Patrick, Chief of Staff and Mark Tallman as Aaron Payton, son of President Constance Payton and Charleston's fiancee.
